ISWiB 2010 preparations are underway!

ISWiB 2009 ended 6 months ago. During one week, 200 students from 42 countries faced the Challenge of Changes.

What we’ve accomplished last year gave us the will and motivation to start organizing ISWiB 2010, as early as September.

With the motto “Do We Tolerate Intolerance?”, ISWiB 2010 will be held 11th-18th July 2010.

We hope that this year’s ISWiB will outdo all the previous ones, both by quality and popularity.

All info about the workshops, applications and participation fees are published on ISWiB’s website www.iswib.org.
